Abstract

A novel and fast technique for cryptographic applications is designed and developed using the symmetric key algorithm "MAJE4" and the popular asymmetric key algorithm "RSA". The MAJE4 algorithm is used for encryption/decryption of files since it is much faster and occupies less memory than RSA. The RSA algorithm is used to solve the problem of key exchange as well as to accomplish scalability and message authentication. The focus is to develop a new hybrid system called MARS4 by combining the two cryptographic methods with an aim to get the advantages of both. The performance evaluation of MARS4 is done in comparison with MAJE4 and RSA
